Summary: Misnamed package, add Provides? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165885 ------- Additional Comments From ville.skytta(a)iki.fi 2005-08-14 05:05 EST ------- I thought that the package naming guidelines would have adviced to use perl-$CPANDIST, but instead it goes on to say things about "the CPAN module name". IMO, that makes no sense because the unit of CPAN module packaging is a CPAN _distribution_, and the vast majority those distributions contain more than one module. What's "the CPAN module name" then? Just using the CPAN distribution name would work, and is already used in all CPAN packages I'm aware of. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Is it? Is this documented anywhere? > Now, this is very much my fault, didn't catch it in the review, and it doesn't > really matter much as all dependencies should be specified as > perl(Locale::gettext) anyway. Exactly. But I think the actual problem is in CPAN: The tarball is called "gettext-*.tar.gz", while the actual module is "Locale::gettext". I chose perl-Locale-gettext for the RPM, primarily because I assumed people will be looking for perl-Locale-gettext-*.rpm when encountering a perl dependency on Locale::gettext. Also, I find calling the RPM perl-gettext*.rpm to be misleading because it would indicate this module to contain Perl's "one and only gettext binding". However this is just _one_ aribitrary gettext binding. > I thought it would be nice to add "Provides: > perl-gettext = %{version}-%{release}" into this package nevertheless. I am not opposed to it, if people think this is useful. > No strong opinions though; add the provides, or rename the package, or leave > it as is. Your call. Neither strong opinions by me, too.
